Answer 1

Problem is You declare your ArrayList Locally , That's why it have only one value at last. Every time its create new ArrayList

Declare globally

private    ArrayList<String> mylist = new ArrayList<String>();

and use in the method for adding the value

mylist.add(test);

NOTE:- Try to declare variable globally, which is used in whole class methods
